9 MOTNHS? LONG OR SHORT WAIT?


When we can consider a fetus as a Human being? Before or after 9 months? .These are some prerogatives that come out when we start talking about abortion. Abortion in simple words is to kill an unborn baby. Going a little further means cut in pieces inside, torn around and vacuum out the dismembered parts as a dirty dust. Who we are to decide who lives and who dies. God? What about His or her human rights? Maybe we can find motives for doing this like Victims of raping, Teenage pregnancy or just and unwanted child. But why not to find or look for different ways to save a life. There are different choices like to give away the babies for adoption I am sure a well organized adoption system would be much different and better than the current abortion . In some part of one of my past blogs posted before I was talking about importance and value of life. The life is too precious to be wasted on these killings. So if we agree about abortion we must agree also with the killings of people under the Nazis regime during WWII. The lack of life value is what makes people like Terrorist responsible of 9/11 or Hitler to kill many people. For those who support the idea of abortion I would ask them to take a baby in your hands and watch deep in his eyes and remake you sentence about abortion.

ARE YOU SICKO?


If they build better cars we drive it, if they make a better wine we drink it? Why we cannot grab good ideas from Canada, England, or France relating Health Care? This was one of many quotes Michael Moore makes us to question about Healthcare. After seeing the movie Sicko I was wondering maybe is better moving to one of these countries with better health care? But at the same time let me to figure out how the health System works in America. For many years if we start from the 70’s the whole system was not working for the American people instead it was making huge profits to Insurance Company. That's right. House's Nixon was the beginning of the nightmare. The health care is provided by legal entities who consider paying a claim as a medical loss or who trough people out by not filling the requirement to be accepted means you have to be perfect healthy. How come American people are afraid of their government? Perhaps we need some kind of French revolution to start a real democracy were Government protects their people and not sell them for some green bills? Brought to my mind after watching Katrina disaster and I was saying myself are we in America? Are we living the American dream or American nightmare? The US America is the only in the developed world that doesn’t provide health care for its citizen. Maybe the whole idea of socialism is not bad idea; maybe the sanitized idea is the Holy Grail for others. Thanks Michael Moore for give us and idea what is coming next! God Bless America?


SUPREME COURT IS LEANING TO CONSERVATIVES? SWEET LAND OF FREEDOM?




Why the Supreme Court is moving to the right wind lately? “Bong Hit Jesus”, It was this banner showed by students at Alaska’s High school that caused a fight for civil rights after the Supreme Court favored first amendment censuring certain free speech in High Schools. In another words Schools can regulate student expression that regard Illegal use of drugs. Can we sue government because The Bush Faith law encourages government partnership with Religions Charities in order to get a share of Federal Government? Or the right to display religions symbols in Governments Buildings. The decision in favor of religious groups may create a question about separating state and religion and it will be unfair to non religious groups such as Atheist. This is just two of many decisions than Supreme Court is favoring Conservative side. It look like the supreme court it is slamming doors on people faces and helping big corporations to do whatever they want Maybe we can find the answer to “why” due most nominees candidates were proposed by George Bush and the big business Republicans. This means It would open the doors to future battles in Social issues such as Abortion, Gay rights and others. Maybe the phrase “We are the government and we are here to help you” will become scary for most Americans.

CAN WOMEN CHANGE AMERICA? MADAME PRESIDENT?


The nomination of Hillary Clinton as a Candidate for the next elections on 2008 could reflect any change on American politics? After the announcement as a candidate seeking the presidential office, the dream of a woman as a president is not more a fiction. But it is not first time a woman reach a high seat as a president. Mary Robinson as a president of Ireland has achieved an excellent Job and considered as the most successful presidency in Ireland. She was responsible for remarkable changes on Ireland such as Woman rights and legal cases supporting Legal right for gay people. Eleanor Roosevelt is another woman who shows the world that being First lady doesn’t mean settling into a role she didn’t like. She was a big positive influence over Roosevelt’s policies. She changed America Politics regarding to Poverty, Civil rights, and women’s rights. I can mention others such as Condoleezza Rice or Margaret Thatcher but my point is what makes Hillary Clinton as a good choice for American people? It is well know American elected over two hundreds centuries males presidents but doesn’t mean being a woman would be fit perfect as an American Presidential Seat. I start asking friends why they would vote for her and the first answer was because she is a democrat. For those of you having the same answer I would say if we start looking her financial supporters you would be surprised to find Republican supporters like Fox News. If we check her Political Background she started as a republican. We shouldn’t forget also she didn’t oppose to the war from the beginning. I think after many miscalculations and mistakes we need a candidate honest and concerned about whole populations and not just a few ones. In the worst case she got elected as a president, Bill Clinton Will be The First gentleman? God save…..

RAISE OF THE RED DRAGON


Reading the Washing Post, I found an article that called my attention. The column written by Steven Pearlstein, a respectful economic analyst, warns us to mark our Calendar June 13. The day The Crash of US Economy has begun. He based his analysis in debt vs Profit of American Companies comparison chart. What Happens next? I think what is coming it will not be pretty. Companies closing doors in USA and laying off employees in order to hire cheap work labor in China or India, Falling Stock Prices, Raising taxes or cutting services are some signs of the economic depression coming He is not the first one to predict the Economic Catastrophe and its consequences are coming. Martin D. Weiss who predicted the rising and Crisis of the oil prices and Iraq war also point the Economic Crisis coming. But that is not real problem. The real problem is called China or the Red Menace. China with a prosperous economic Boom and aggressive Global commerce expansionism is getting bigger and bigger as a result is not very hard to see what is coming next. So if we play with all these pieces what do we have? The acceptance that the US is no longer Prosper economically country and dropping off as a World Leader and switched by the Red Dragon. But we shouldn’t forget that Economic Crisis brings International Tensions and the Politicians tend to take us to war instead of facing the economic situation. As a result if we check the past after the great depression of the 1929, it leads us to the World War II. We could face a big war if US decide to stop the Red Dragon once for all, before is too late. What we can expect from the battle of these two titans? Maybe the beginning of a new economic era or even worst the world ruled under a new communist leading.

Should Marijuana be legalized?


Many supporters of legalizing Marijuana say Government spend millions of dollars every year trying to fight Drug War around the world and legalizing not only we would save money also it would generate more funds on taxing marijuana and use this money to fight criminality . But further any social or economical issue, the real problem about legalizing marijuana is known as addiction. It is well know the use of marijuana is very popular in schools abroad USA. Legalizing not only will increase the demand of Marijuana to higher levels but at the same time will be hard to control the addiction to this drug. Despite the sale of marijuana legally to over 18 years old, it will be difficult to control the drugs under the table to minors. We can say people over 18 are considered adult and as a fact they are able to take their own decision and be responsible about getting drugs but we can trust like we did before with tobacco and alcohol in the past. I would suggest to all supporters seeking legalize marijuana to think about it, take a little of your time and imagine for a second as a parents or brothers if we want a society controlled by drug addiction what will be the catastrophic results of legalizing marijuana and how will affect our family?

GAY MARRIAGE I DO?


Marriage is a union between one man and one woman? Who give us such kind of definition? God?, married guys? or unhappy married couples?, who doesn’t understand Human Nature. In a country where freedom must be applied equally in all aspects, why oppose to homosexuals or same sex couple to fulfill his love trough marriage. I was raised as a Catholic person and I would ask to those religious people opposed to gay marriage In which part of the bible God discriminate Gay or homosexual or he mention we need to discriminate people by race or sexual orientation?. It will be hard to believe having a homophobic as a God. I don’t believe in marriage but in most cases like Gay couples who want to protect and get civil right for their kids, there must not be an objection such like Amendment 2. For those not informed about this law, Amendment 2 classifies homosexuals unequal to everyone else. If we make a parallel comparison to Heterosexual couples it is proved children raised in Gay home couples are just as good and sometimes better as those of straight couples. But if we look a little deep why Politic Conservative parties find Gay Marriage so threatening? In the conservative view under the rules of god we must keep the stability and sacristy of heterosexual Union as well Family traditions. But who are behind this Opposition maybe republicans, evangelist, Catholic priest or head of the church who pray Family tradition in all directions and in the other hand do the opposite like child molesting or sexual harassment. As a human society are we going back to the Stone Age instead of moving on to next level as smart human beings? At this point we should think before talking. (In Memory of ACGP).

Driving under the influence of alcohol

Many of you would be asking what have to do with drunk driving and Paris Hilton who by the way is really hot? Just simple, In September 2006, the famous American socialite Paris Hilton was arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol in California and now she is facing many charges and her lawyer are battling in court to avoid jail. Maybe for many people is just another ticket or a simple infraction but if we wonder how many people including non drivers are killed on the highways just driving under the influence of alcohol we would surprised and shocked after reading that the numbers of deaths are increasing every year. For many of us just a couple of beer or some cup of drinks doesn’t put you on danger behind the wheels but you know how much alcohol can’t stop you to being sober? Finding a solution is getting more complex to stop the problem. Despite all warning and penalties by Law Enforcement, people will still risk their lives and most important from other innocent people who are a not responsible for his bad behavior. Maybe it’s time to do something and protect our families and love ones from these irresponsible people who doesn’t value the price of Life.

IS IRAK WAR NECESSARY?


Beyond Human losses in Irak from both sides I was asking myself many times if is this war necessary? After many lies of Weapons of Mass Destruction and erroneous intelligence information how much longer we can keep fighting this war? There is no doubt that this war help to stop extreme radicalism on this part of the word. We couldn’t imagine living in a world dominated by Extreme Islamic religious people who only believes in killing people. But after many failures in leading up the war and huge bills for supporting this war, many analyst predict we are losing this war. What about American lives we are losing every day not counting the civilians on Irak. What will be next Iran? How strong American Could be to handle many enemies at the same time?

DID GIRLS DO BETTER THAN BOYS?????


I t was 6pm after coming back from work, I checked as usual my computer and there it was the message “Complete Download Torrent”. I was thrilling of excitement. It was ready to see of course one week before his release on Movie Theater and in the peace of my bed, one of the most anticipated upcoming horror movies for summer of course we are talking about Hostel II. My first appreciation after seeing the movie with no doubt was Eli Roth did an excellent job in this sequel. Hostel II starts off where Hostel Left with better horrifying and bloodiest scenes, I mean for people like the one who is writing likes. Basically the movie is about human torture and human execution making it delicious to Horror Fanatics. The movie opens with the only survivor from the first one and follows the fate of 3 American girls touring Eastern Europe and ending in the bloody Slovakian hotel and handled by the dark organization who cash million for human lives. If the first movie was around just boys this time were girls leading up the story. One of the most interesting part was the millionaires bidding on potential victims using theirs blackberries and the killing of the first victim. I don’t want spoil the movie for the ones who haven’t seen it yet so I would recommend if you like decapitation and strong scenes including torture and bloody scenes don’t misled this great movie.

Google Map: Privacy Breaker or Better View of the Streets


Since last week Google has raised some questionable concerns about Privacy Issues. The new feature allows people to watch street level photographs. For now, it appears this feature is only available for major metropolitan cities like New York and San Francisco or Miami. The feature allows people to zoom in and see with details, for example, Cars in the highway or people walking on the street from a street level perspective. Since Google saw someone’s cat is where the problems start. By now there are no legal bases on this issue according to the constitution if you see something in public or in the street you are allowed to take pictures. According to Google, they are not doing anything Illegal. If you don’t like it, you can contact them and ask them the picture to be removed. There is another issue regarding Security that need to be analyzed. What if this tool instead of helping people helps terrorists to improve their terror attacks in the United States? Detailed information and pictures of British Military Bases were found were found in Google Earth< style=""> Right now there is freedom of information including the right to snap and disseminate photos over the Internet but are limits.

THE REAL GOD


Yahweh, Allah, Shen, Brahman are some of the names used by different cultures to refer to God as the unique Supreme Being. How do we know which one is the Real god if there is one? Let us be honest we cannot prove of his existence neither his presence as an omnipotent entity. But what if the Muslim god is real? Are his violent actions against western countries justified? What about 9/11? What if the Satanist is right about human being perfection and we as a gods? What if God nature is far away more complex than human comprehension? Or what if the Christian god really exists and Jesus was really the messiah? Are we going to clean or sins in other life like Heaven or Hell? I think religions keep a balance in human evolution even if they are just a fiction. But this doesn’t stop human for search the truth about God. But by the other hand, Religion can make us becomes irresponsible and irrational in our acts like make us think that someone is going to help us in dangerous situations or going further and make us follow the bible as the way is written. We can see this behavior on different religion like Christian who believes every single word of the bible or Muslims who believe they have the right to kill anyone under god’s order. Although each religion has his theory about god and how we were created such old scripts like the bible, Quran or many others we shouldn’t forget that these books were written by simple human beings who were afraid to go further than any kind of knowledge and used it for their own convenience. (This is just and independent point of view and I am not try to offend to any kind of religion)
